Airport Facility Construction: Special Considerations

LaForce has assisted with many airport construction projects. We are very familiar with the special considerations that must be taken in regards to building an airport facility – particularly when it comes to security components. Take a look at some recent examples!

Airport facilities are unique because they require additional security restrictions (background checks, badges, etc.) on all on-site construction personnel (project managers, workers, etc.). To alleviate the hassle of these restrictions, LaForce can supply doors with pre-installed hardware – meaning the hinges, door closers, exit devices, locks, electrified hardware, and flat goods are installed onto the doors prior to shipping to the jobsite. Pre-installation can save the customer time and money – for example, materials can be delivered “just in time” versus creating a need for jobsite storage. We can also recycle packaging at our shop, which saves jobsite waste. A video about LaForce’s pre-installation services can be found here.

In addition, the airport requires double authentication for some personnel to gain access through some doors, to protect against threats. This means that some entrances require personnel to present credentials via both an access card and a pin number. When LaForce’s installation staff installs the electrified hardware, they will work closely with the city’s security team to troubleshoot and ensure proper functionality. A video covering the project can be found here.
